A lot of people dony care about it? A few people on sept =/= a general consensus almost everywhere else.

There is free DLC for consoles, yeah, but that doesn't take away the fact PC has still gotten a good end of the stick from it. As for the update (I guess it's faster), the update for arrow kill cams, better underwater, and various other things came from mods on Skyrim that they just copy pasted over to consoles.

Same with Hearthfire basically.

PC gamers care about it. But most people who game on consoles likely don't care too much about frame rate and/ or resolution. If they cared that much, they'd be on PC. I know there's many console players who do care, but it's certainly not as prevalent as people on PC.

PC got the better en of the stick in the past, sure. But that was when Microsoft had a vendetta against free things. In 2015, though, there's rarely any cases where DLC is free on one platform and not another for a multiplat title. I can't really comment on the Skyrim thing, as the only PC exclusive I know of is the free Portal 2 DLC thing.

You still never clarified faster updates. Like, faster release times, faster downloads? It doesn't really make sense.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Updates on consoles have to approved first.

Yeah I'm gonna be that asshat

PC gaming is superior in almost every visible way, save for games meant for groups. Console exclusives are literally just a sham to get you to buy consoles.

Why support the fraud, Sep7?
>exclusives
>not having a PC, Wii U, PS4, and XB1

And I'd love to hear your explanation for the existence of console exclusives
This is going to be a mini rant on why consoles exist.

#1. Games released on consoles make up the majority of AAA game sales (technically mobile makes more money overall but I said AAA to specify). Without those these high budget games with graphical fidelity (let me use The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Creed for a minute here) wouldn't make money back just releasing on PC

#2. Exclusives are used to coerce people to purchase one platform over the other, and then those people buy the games stated in #1, which allow more games to be made. The amount of people willing to spend $600-800 building a PC aren't enough to recoup development costs. Kingdom Hearts wouldn't exist either, it would be relegated to mobile devices faster than you can say "the Sonic fanbase is autistic as fuck".

In essence, without consoles there wouldn't be as many games on PC as there are today. Also with how mobile technology is growing, within 2 years a phone will be as powerful as an Xbox 360. Hell in 4 or 5 the power of the PS4.

cindy was just trolling in all likelihood, and this thread is pretty over-inflated, so i think we should just let this die, tbh

I don't emulate games, because I'm a good person.
